Golden State Warriors: 2 trades to cement them as NBA title favorites
By Jack Simone
NBA trades to make the Golden State Warriors title favorites: Added depth
Warriors get: Chris Boucher, Dorian Finney-Smith, Maxi Kleber
Raptors get: James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Brown
Mavericks get: Goran Dragic, Nemanja Bjelica, Svi Mykhailiuk
This trade may look super complicated, but all three teams can get something of value here. The Golden State Warriors would be adding some great depth with Chris Boucher, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Maxi Kleber.
Boucher and Finney-Smith have struggled to shoot the ball, but both are great defenders who could turn things around shooting-wise at any point. They fit the mold of what Golden State is trying to do to a tee.
The same can be said for Maxi Kleber. He has missed extended time with an injury, but once he returns, he would be a solid defender who can stretch the floor for the Warriors.
Toronto would be getting three players who fit what they are doing over there, too. James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga, and Moses Brown are all young big men who have a ton of potential.
They would be fighting for minutes with Precious Achuiwa, but Nicks Nurse has been known for running some weird lineups, anyways. They could find a way to get them all some run.
Lastly, the Dallas Mavericks would be getting an extra ball-handler in Goran Dragic and two shooters in Nemanja Bjelica and Svi Mykhailiuk. Those are things they should definitely be looking to add.
All-in-all, this trade sees each team get something they would want. A the same time, the Warriors would be adding depth for an NBA championship run.
